Artist: SOG
Title: Speicher 49
Label: KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: KOM EX049EP
Speicher 49 is scientifically-correct hypnosis with a coolness factor of 10. Music full of dignity. The message comes out of the right mixture of listening and not listening, and the music leaves a lot of room for fantasy. Everything is there, you just have to recognize it. Variety is the enemy of real minimal! Real beauty is timeless.

Title: Speicher 53
Label: KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: KOM EX053EP
Sog puts his foot down on the always-the-same magic. Music that knows everything, but expects nothing, music that promises nothing but always keeps its word. Sog is the last loop before you enter paradise.


Artist: SOG
Title: Abweichung
Label: PROFAN (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: PROFAN 032EP
Profan (...remember Wolfgang Voigt's abstract techno label from the 1990s) is back from the future. Like his earlier projects, the brand new SOG release combines seemingly familiar and extremely unfamiliar signs, and in the most unusual way bends them around the utterly familiar bass drum. The result is a conspiracy of four sound frescos of peculiar beauty which deserve the title "Abweichung" (trans. "deviance") -- named after Voigt's painting featured on the cover. This is minimal art-techno that raises questions.

Title: Fremde Hände
Label: PROFAN (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: PROFAN 035EP
Following the legendary first two, stoically super-minimal records, Profan presents Fremde Hände. The A-side contains a tonally noncommittal sequence ambling across the keyboard in quantized form, reminiscent of the arpeggiator (accompaniment function) function of early '70s and '80s synthesizers. On the B-side, daring and thoroughly unquantized quaver rhythms rock around a bass drum that, as the only straight element, tries to keep the whole thing together. The result sounds a little like a delirious Can live.
